Is This Ntd? (Picture)

Sorry for the poor quality, i've quarantined this fish till I get an answer. What do you think, there isn't much curvature of the spine but there is a patch of discolouration underneath the dorsal.

I don't think it's NTD; that causes the fish to lose colour and become emciated and only then does the curvature of the spine start to show in the last stages.

I (and someone else, I can't remember who) have had this in our neons recently and it appears to be bacterial in origin. I had two fish affected, treated them in a hospital tank with two courses of Myxazin (one five day course, a weekend of running carbon with a 90% water change, followed by another five day course) and it cleared up perectly. No other fish have been affected.

Right, thanks, I'll have to get hold of some Myxazin asap.
